Questions?
We've got answers.
Can dogs thrive on a plant-based diet?
Yes. Dogs are omnivores—just like humans—which means they can meet all their nutritional needs from plant-based sources. Our formulas are developed by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist and meet AAFCO standards for complete and balanced nutrition.
How does Petaluma support longevity in dogs?
Our formulas support longevity through several mechanisms: high fiber content promotes healthy weight management (a key longevity factor), low phosphorus levels support kidney health, and the absence of processed meat meals reduces carcinogen exposure. Studies suggest well-managed weight can add 1.5+ years to a dog's life.
Will Petaluma help my dog's allergies?
Many pet parents report significant improvement in allergy symptoms after switching to Petaluma. Our plant-based formulas are ideal for dogs with meat protein allergies or sensitivities. Unlike hydrolyzed diets, Petaluma is designed for long-term, everyday feeding while providing therapeutic benefits for skin inflammation and itching.
Is Petaluma complete and balanced for all life stages?
No—by design. All Life Stages formulas are built to work for puppies too, which means nutrient levels that can be excessive for adult dogs. Our recipes use the Adult Maintenance profile, optimized for dogs 1+ years. Our senior formula adds joint and digestive support within that same standard. All formulas meet AAFCO standards and are developed by experts in veterinary nutrition.
How quickly will I see improvement in my dog's health?
Many pet parents report noticeable improvements within 2–4 weeks, particularly in coat quality, energy levels, and digestive regularity. For allergy-related symptoms like skin inflammation or itching, improvements are often seen within 4–12 weeks. Individual results may vary based on your dog's specific condition.
